  1. 150+ mystery GB on my C drive


    Hi, i know that others have had this issue too, and I read and followed advice to clear out my %temp% folder and deleted other temporary files and stuff, which saved me maybe like 5GB, which is great but it literally says I still have 189GB of stuff in my applications section, and the largest app i have on there is something like 2.5GB, and everything else is only MB is not KB. Anyway yeah any advice about what the hell is taking up so much space would be greatly appreciated!!

  2. My windows 10 upgrade consumes all of it's drive c: space (50 GB)

    • My windows 10 upgrade consumes all of it's drive c: space (50 GB)
    • I am unable to install the update,
    • I suspect the windows 10 need this much space and it is some kind of glitch,
    • Please suggest a way to free up some space as I don't prefer to format partition C:

    What's eating up my \C: drive?

    That reduced System Volume Information to 662 KB, left $GetCurrent at 3.8 GB which is called media when clicking the little arrow. Storage sense or Disk cleanup gave no reference to $GetCurrent, and the [2 files] are pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I will thank everyone and mark this thread as solved, I now have over 27 GB of free space on my C: drive, it must just slowly get down to size where Windows warned me with a red "flag" when viewing This PC.

    150+ mystery GB on my C drive

    c users need to delete all 5 gb 3 gb for One Drive can I delets all these files?

    c users greg one drive has 3 gb and I need all this space I bought the acer cloud book with 25 gb and have .8 free on my documents I only have 400 megs used I did properties on all of drive and found 5 gb on c users greg and 3 gb was for one drive
    properties I need help to del 5 gb to free this up as ms update fails as not enough space....

    I suggest you to delete the unwanted data and unused applications to clean up the drive.

    5 gb on c users is the only large gb I found others must be hidden in c system files for the other 20 gb

    I can buy a 64 gb flash drive for 20 dollars is there a way to move the 5 gb in c users to this?

    You suggest to delete the unwanted data..... I need to know what you mean data as its all c users greg 5 gb and in this c users greg one drive 3 gb and you said this will do me no good to delete.... so is the 20 gb all in the c system hidden files?

    thanks
